edit- My last post was on the end of the page, copying and pasting for everyones ease...

BiC-
"Great... now if Auron would get off his lazy ass and show us where to go, we could be off! Until then, I guess we have naught to do but wait, I think Ill take a nap in the boat... all that work make me quite tired..."

"Ive been searching for someone to help me make the voyage for longer than you would think. This is just a little gift for now."

*Turns to Loki*

"I heard the whole thing. We will be going to the western sea, crossing to the next island, through the mountains, and hopefully find a treasure-filled shrine. You are welcome to come with us. If you decide to come all the way to the shrine with us, and if its fine with Aya, you two can split the contents of the main treasure chamber. I assure you, there is little chance that either of you can carry all of the treasure anyways. Either way,"

*Auron runs into the bar again and a small sake bottle can immediately be seen flying out the door towards Loki. Loki catches it without opening his eyes and grins. He sets the bottle down next to him and sleeps.*

my PM to you:
"Im not sure where your chracter is right now.....But mine is in a forest somewhere near the tent area. Not sure where you are, but maybe we could hook up for awhile after I finish the battle?"

And it looks like you and FA20 are all going somewhere..which leads me to want to meet up with you guys...after this battle Im about to do.... Whenever chosen sets it up.

OoC- Me, Dingo, and FA2O are all heading for treasure ^_^ If you meet up with us before the party wakes...

BiC-

"Ahh, that was sake, cool. Hmm... it appears to be getting a little late, and I sure am beat, and Loki already seems to be slumbering... so I suppose we shall just camp here for tonight? Maybe we'll even meet up with some more people to help us on our travels... Hopefully we won't need a bigger boat..."

* Dyne quickly advances toward the shockwave with his sword held vertically and out in front of him. The force slows im down but his blade splits the shockwave sending it to both sides of Dyne as he still advances through it toward Silver. *

" Your cheap tricks will not beat me. Your going to have to try harder than that to beat a dragonmaster. "

* Dyne rears back quenching both hands tightly on his hilt. He reaches back and slices through the air in front of him sending also a 'light' shockwave out from his sword straight at Silver *

* Dyne startled by the strength of his opponent is thrown off balance and barely dodges the first vertical strike but is caught with the second, splitting him open just a bit. While rocking forward Dyne stabs his sword into the ground firmly and swinging himself around it throws a high kick towards his opponent. *

" Never rely on a weapon for its power. Your power comes from your will and your spirit. "

*A yellow pentagram surrounds Ramirez, as he casts his spell. He gets surrounded by a soft light, and then the light dissappears. A dark light comes out of the ground surrounding Dyne, draining his strength into the ground. Dyne notices his physical and defensive strength dropping rapidly.*

Don't depend on weapons, eh?

*Ramirez knocks away Dyne's Sword, and sheathes his. He then runs in, giving Dyne a right hook across the temple, and a swift left uppercut, knocking Dyne to the ground.*

Get up, fool. Pathetic beings like yourself don't have anything on me. Give me the stone!

*As Ramirez says *stone* he soccer kicks Dyne across the face, knocking him on his back, closer to his sword.*

I've got to do something. He's stronger than i expected but there's still a chance.

* Dyne wipes the blood off of his face from the kick he suffered at the hands of Ramirez. He rolls back to his feet and walks over to his weapon. Picking it up he resheathes it on his back. *

" You will not get this stone. "

* Dyne places his hands together and closes his eyes. As he begins to breathe harder and harder from the wounds he had suffered a small beem of light showns between his fingers. As his breathing increases the white light grows brighter and bigger. As the light engulfs his whole body he releases the energy as he turns towards the stone. *

WHITE DRAGON PROTECT!!!

* The stone now is emitting a forceful shield of energy around itself. *

" That stone will not leave this place with you Silver. It is impervious to any evil magic and can not be touched as of now by anyone with an ill intent. "

* Dyne drops down to one knee exhausted from the wounds he's suffered from both fights today *

*Ramirez breaks his normally collected visage, and his face shows a frustrated scowl that is borderline dementia.*

Then. . .y You. . .DIE, OLD man!

*A light aura surrounds Ramirez. A silver hexagram surrounds him.*

Silver Moon! Cleave the soul of my enemy! Eternum!

*The silver moon shines. Following that, Dyne's body begins to shine. The shining light then exits Dyne's body and spirals around him, in small wisps of light.

Dyne, in awe of the beauty of the attack, is bewildered by the attack.*

*Then the light condenses into a large amount of small aura needles surrounding Dyne, with a large needle situated directly above him, in their epicenter. The small needles imbed themselves into Dyne. The needles then start running a current through Dyne. Dyne screams in pain. As the current works their way through the needles, it collects in the endings of the needles and then the current strikes the top needle.

*Ramirez points at Dyne, and then points at the ground. He then waves his hand off, as if he cares less about his life or existance.*

DIE!

*The large needle then falls, impaling Dyne. The needles glow, then explode. At that moment, Dyne flies across the battlefield, into a tree. The Tree falls over, broken from the impact that he made into it.*

This scum has limited my power! He leaves the Tundra out of my grasp!

*Ramirez, walks up to the stone, kneels, and attempts to touch it. It knocks him away from it, and slowly rolls toward Dyne. He beats his fist into the ground out of frustration.*

One day. . .I will get that stone from you. Live long enough to undo your spell, vermin.

*Incensed, but admitting to himself he cannot unlock the moonstone, Ramirez forms his sword into an armband, and walks away from the fight, back to his cave.*

* From the force of the blow and the concussion of Dyne's body smashing through the tree, Dyne slips into an unconscience as he falls to the ground. The tree debree also falls on top of him burying him and the stone beneath the rubble. *

[The dog probes with his nose at the pile of rock, finding the foot of an unlucky traveler, buried beneath the rubble. A ninja slowly appears out of the shadows of the trees.]

"What is it, Interceptor?"

[The dog whimpers and paws anxiously at the ground.]

*sigh*

"Hmm.... He does not look too happy. Is he dead?"

[Interceptor whines again and begins tugging at the foot sticking out from the pile of rocks. Shadow creeps over and kneels next to him, touching the ankle of the poor buried soul.]

"He may be alive, but I doubt he will remain so for very long. This area seems quite.... battered. I suppose this is the loser of that battle. Well, it is the destiny of the weak to be defeated from this earth. I cannot interfere with fate's providence. Come, Interceptor!"

[The dog continues to sniff around the buried man, and yips pleadingly at his master's command.]

*sigh*

"That man is of no concern to us. Fate will guide him where it sees fit, now come!"

[But Interceptor is still preoccupied with the unconscious man. He begins pulling at his boot, eventually coming away with it. The bare foot twitches, and the man groans quietly from beneath the rubble. Interceptor barks. Shadow turns around and kneels down next to the foot. He sighs again.]

"And who are you, dog, to determine who lives or dies? After all these years by my side, one would think you'd come to understand my philosophies.... So, the winds of fate are gusting strangely today, and in your favor, poor fellow," he addresses the man. "Interceptor, I trust that you will not lead me astray, but marvel at this spectacle; you will not see such foolishness again from me."

[Shadow removes the rubble from the man, and throwing him over his shoulder, disappears once more into the forest.]

*As Ramza is has his swords drawn he is keeping a keen eye out, but then he heard a rumble in the bushes and turned to look......it was a man in a black robe, Ramza was relieved that it was only this puny looking man and turned his back on him and put his swords back. But as he did this the man in the black robe got up and started to chant and turned into a large man-dragon about 10 feet tall in size and w/ scales and claws, very powerful looking. It growled at a stunned Ramza and started to attack him*

*Luckily Ramza is able to dodge it's oncoming assault but he does get tripped by a sweep and falls hard. The great beast then kicked him ontp the nearest tree nearly knocking it down. Ramza is now stunned and the beast comes in to attack again, it lifts up it's right claw so that it could possible decapitate Ramza but he ducks out of the way and the beast gets it's claw stuck.*

*Ramza now retreats to get his thuoghts straight and try to figure out what happened and plan on what to do, he goes behind a near by tree w/out the beasts knowledge and when the beast got it's claw free it began to hunt Ramza down.*

OoC-ok, apparently there is already an admin place, so i cant go along with my adminism town idea
BiCSuddenly, Kite was mysteriously thrown from the town where he was. When he awoke, he found himself next to a sign that said "Christone." He had arrived in Christone.

Kite: Hmm, these admins are too powerful for me. I guess there really is nothing i can do. I shall explore Christone more, and try to find a quest here.

"I awoke in plains west of here yesterday. I'm sure you've heard many stories from other travellers, so I won't bother you with the details of mine."

*Pauses and looks back to Aya and Auron*

"The old man there has discovered a treasure map, which says that an extraordinary fortune can be found on a small island just off the coast. I've been trying to find a guide who will lead me through the western mountains. I thought I might as well indulge my adventurous side for the time being."

*Turns back to Kite*

"They seem to be hard at work. I'm sure they could use another helping hand, but I wouldn't do it. Hey, why you come with me to gather supplies?"

*Ramza grins, knowing that a man powerful enough to change into a large dragon is powerful indeed, and fighting him would be a true test of his power. Ramza draws his mighty Exalibur, chanting a +10/+10 power spell beneath his breath.*

"YERGHHHHH!"

*Ramza charges out from behind the tree and gashes the Dragon in the flank. He then jumps straight up into the tree. The dragon, momentarily confused sniffs around.

*Ramza, in midair draws God Save The Queen and flips around and plunges face first towards the ground, the swords extended in front of his body. Ramza's swords pierce the back of the lizard, who screams in pain and lunges his body and neck around in order to snap at this intruder. But Ramza has already departed, leaving his powerful swords lodged in the Dragons back. Ramza uses his scream charge up, and glows momentarily while the world seems to stand still. He then draws a large number of knives, and with a mutter of a accuracy+ magic, throws them at the beast's face*

*The dragon roared in pain and frustration. The dragon was getting weaker and was upset over its not having yet toucked Ramza.*

<good. now i can strike.>

*Ramza drew out his collapsable katana, and quickly locked it into place. He quickly climbed a nearby tree, and raced over to get the drop on the dragon. Unbeknowest to him, the dragon was feigning a large ammount of his pain, hoping to draw out his attacker. Ramza then dropped out of the tree on the dragons head. THe dragon, moving swiftly, unfurled his wings and took to the air before Ramza could plunge the poisoned blade down. *

<damn dragon, i was going to easy on you>

*Ramza was flattened by gravity to the Dragons back. The Dragon rose high into the air. So high that Ramza could barely breathe in the misty fog.*

<cant breathe...blacking o-

*The dragon, too was affected. Icicles began to form on its wings. Sensing its danger, the dragon tossed Ramza off his back and grabbed him in his claws. The dragon took off to his lair on the tallest peak of the island. The Dragon landed on the peak top and dropped Ramza*

<AHHHHH. my...back...*groan*>

*The Dragon proceded to rake Ramza mercilessly to the shrill screams of the semi-conscious Ramza. Ramza cried out in pain, still out of it slightly, he could not summon the power to cast a cure spell. The dragon continued to tear into him. When the Dragon was satisfied that Ramza could no longer do any damage to him, he left the now-dying Ramza there. Ramza, knowing that he was dying, summoned all the power he could muster, and with his last breath, whisperd a Reive spell. As he finished the spell, his spirt left him and was floating up when the Reive spell grabbed Ramza's spirit and rushed it back into his lifeless body.*

*Dyne tries to push the rubble of the trees off of him but can not. He is still too weak from his fights. He just lies there hoping somehow to worm out of this predicament. *

I can barely move. What happened...

*A Small stone surrounded by a fading white light rolls over to where Dyne is laying.*

Now I remember. That man wanted this stone. I wonder what drove him so mad to obtain it.

*Dyne, though weak, focuses in his will and redraws some of his energy from his spell on the stone. The white shield leaves the stone and re enters Dyne's body feeding him some extra strenght. *

Thats a little better. At least now i can move this rubble.

* Dyne pushes up against the tree and begins to roll it. He manages to get his legs under him and push off, moving himself out from underneath it. *

It's going to take a while to heal. I need to find a place to stay. Somewhere with medicines and lots of people. Maybe the place I heard Ghaleon and the people with him talking about. Chistone was it...?

*Ramza looks down at his clothes, they are in ruins, but the spell has fully healed him. The Dragon is busy at its nest and does not notice Ramza*

<i'm not holding back this time...>

*Ramza jumps up silently*

*With a yell he summons Cyclops. The dragon, momentarily startled, turns around, but by then, Ramza has finished the spell*

*Cyclops appears. Casts Ice 5*

*Ramza, immune to the effects of the spell, begins the next. Bolt 3. Cyclops leaves. The Dragon is completely frozen in ice. Ramza finishes his Bolt 3 spell. A plethora of bolts race down and hit the ice. The first one shatters it completely,a nd the second, third, fourth and fifth all hit the Dragon full force. As the heavens pour lightning on the Dragon, shreiking in Pain, Ramza manipulates a small portion of his control on the electricity to lift His might Excalibur and God Save The Queen still lodged in the dragons back. As They rejoin his hands, Ramza feels a small tingle. The hairs on his head and back stand out until he releases his control on the electricity. The dragon is nothing but a pile of ashes now. As Ramza watches, the ashes shimmer and before his eyes is the dead man he saw in the forest.*

<ah, so he was a man after all>

*Ramza walks over to the man, and looked to see what the man had been doing. Ramza saw a dragons egg.*

<ah, he was a wizard and needed a dead body to feed to the Dragon Hatchling.>

*Just then, the egg hatched. Its first vision was of Ramza, so Ramza became its master.*

"Down doggie. Goddamn, my own dragon," Ramza mused aloud

<cool>

*Ramza stepped out of his blood-soaked and ruined clothes, and touched the dragons head.*

<Hello. I Am Ralthar. The World Is So Bright. So Full Of Colors.>

<yes, i suppose it is to one who has been dreaming inside a shell for....for how long anyways?>

<Exactly One Thousand Of Your Years.>

<woah>

<Yes. I Suppose To One With A Relativatly Short Lifespan Such As Yours.>

*Ramza hunted around, and found a rock that was actually a hologram that covered a hidden entrance to the inside of the mountain.*

*Sharing in their Telepathic link, the young dragon and Ramza began making their way down into the mountain.*

the map works for me, but what is the top name and why is one hill upside-down?

BiC

*auron runs out of the bar one last time*

"Lets go."

*Aya gets in the boat, but auron mounts the chocobo instead and whips the second pair of reins. the boat careens through town, often teetering on two wheels. Auron scoops up puck by the neck and drops him in the boat*

"I just heard. There is another seeking the shrine right now.

Your phobably curious why ive waited so long to begin this quest. Ill tell you. Millenia ago, there was a ruler of the island. The people loved him: he defended the smallest villages from beasts and climbed the highest mountains to help the meek. He grew old, as all men do, and called upon all families of the island to give him a gift. He had a sword that could harness the power of orbs. Each family made an orb for him and wrapped it in a parchment that spoke of its power.

Eight old men sensed he was leaving and had their families create the greatest treasures known to man. When the great king left with the orbs, the eight old men followed him in the shadows. Legend has it that the king constructed a small burial chamber for himself, a room for the sword, and a room for the orbs. He layed down on his burial bed and died. Immediately, the old men constructed a massive treasure room filled with most of their gifts. each then constructed a small room to hold the greatest treasure of their family and sealed it with a test. Each held up his treasure and died, so that they would become their own pedastools.

Now, any man born on the island may seek the treasure. But first, they must recieve the blessing. He must find the tallest tree in the forest and tie himself to it. If he is not chosen, the man will be killed. If he is strong enough to seek the treasure, then the gods will burn through the ropes and tree, but not the warrior. If he can reach the shrine, then he will have the greatest treasures on earth. But only the strongest and most virtuous warrior can have the sword.

Now you understand why I have waited so long and why we must leave in haste. "

[Shadow realizes that his previous post regarding Dyne was merely a hallucination, brought about by the very strong herbal tea he was drinking this morning. In addition, the forest became quite "trippy," and Shadow couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably at Interceptor, who seemed to have become a Kurdish barmaid with a bad moustache.]

OoC- Yeah, I finished it like yesterday you guys better hop on the boat before we leave ya!

BiC-

"Ahh... which would explain us getting the 'main' treasure room..." Aya groaned as she sat up "That stuff really is strong... and I've always been a light drinker anyways... So, where is this... place anyways?"

"Ack! Was it really necessary to grab me by the neck like that, Auron? I was just going to gather supplies. Anyways, how credible is this information about the magical sword surrounded orbs and such? It sounds more like a fairy tale than a history lesson."

*Thinking to himself* If that old fool touches me again, I will rip his throat out and have my way with the woman.

*Speaking out loud* "Also, how long do you expect the voyage to take?"

OoC:
The top village that is in the mountains is called Thuzad, but is is also know as a unknown place because it is hidden.
BiC:

*Sephiroth finally wakes up from his deep slumber*

"Wow what the hell was wrong with me?

*He then looks down in his pocket and see's the flower that was presented to him by Loki, he then examines it and notices that it has a distinct smell and odd shape.*

"That bastard! But then again he knew it was poisonous and probably wanted to test me. Okay If I see him again I will only wound him (snicker)"

*He got up out of bed and remembered that he left his armor at the armory shop so he just got dressed in casual garb and headed out to check out the town.*

"I should probably go to the local item shop and get some much needed supplies......."

*He heads out to the item shop and buys the necessities and heads to the item shop to pick up his armor.*

Shop Keeper: Can I help you?

"I am here to pick up my armor..."

Shop Keeper: You got a stub?

*Sephiroth hands him the stub and the guy looks at him*

Shop Keeper: Oh it's you well I manged to fit about 9 slots onto you'r chestplate and guantlets so you are set to go.

"Excellent here keep the change"

*He takes his armor and goes back to his room at the inn. He examines his chestplate and admires the work that the armorer did. He then takes out some materia (which is all mastered) and starts placing them into the slots.

"Perfect fit! Great it's a great thing that I kept these."

*With that said he leaves Christone and heads east he once read of a cave in the forest. He leaves town and heads for the forest.*

"Woah there boys... no need to get testy, we've only just begun... if YOU want that sword, and if YOU want any treasure, cool it. I don't wanna blow out anybodies brains if I don't have too. Oh look, we're almost at the beach... how did THAT happen, it seems like the forest was barly there, oh well, no matter. So, know where do we go?"

OoC-
